During the event: Who may report?

Even though harassment is defined as a certain type of activity, the extent to which the person on the receiving end is affected may vary from one individual to another. Some people may not consider harassment worth reporting. Other types of harassment are less obvious, and only someone who has sustained long-term harassment may identify them as part of an unacceptable behavioral pattern.

Both targets and witnesses of harassment may report a violation of the friendly space policy. Witnesses will generally not be kept updated for confidentiality reasons.
